2002 Chardonnay, Hudson Vineyard, Napa-Carneros

Winemaker Notes

Also north of the Carneros Highway, but further west, the terrain here is more rolling than that of Hyde, and the soil lighter and more friable. Blocks and selections include E-block (Wente) and F-block (unheat-treated Robert Young, a Wente selection), both planted in 1984. Hudson Vineyard wines tend to a more muscular, masculine character.
